I've been using a similar package from MELPA (pyimport) that does
exactly that, i.e., parsing the Python code from Lisp. Unfortunately,
the parsing is a bit naive and fails for certain code formatting styles.
Of course the said package could be improved (the task couldn't be
regarded as “extremely complicated”), but I don't see the motivation of
doing so when the effort can be offloaded to an external tool that
already exists and is free and pretty reliable.

Yes, I agree now.
